Chapter 142 142. Guest director, gradually changing the image in Charlize Theron's mind.

On the set of "Monster", Eric handed the script to Patty Jenkins.

"The filming of Blue Is the Warmest Color is almost finished. There are only five scenes left. I expect it to be finished tomorrow."

Patty took a closer look and found it was still the familiar style, with an extremely detailed storyboard script.

"So, do you want me to finish it?"

"Depending on your progress, I will give you higher authority this time. You can play freely."

"What?"

Eric took the script back from Patty, and then tore it violently, tearing off more than a dozen pages of the script.

He then picked out a page of text and handed it to the other person: "Look, the storyboard is gone. You can use your creativity. I won't restrict you."

"OMG! This is really generous!" Patty Jenkins opened her mouth in surprise.

"Haha. Art films are different from commercial films. Blue Is the Warmest Color requires creativity. Maybe you can bring a different feeling to it."

"Okay, I'll accept this temporary employment."

Eric felt relieved when he saw Patty leaving excitedly.

She may not be able to shoot commercial blockbusters, but if she is asked to shoot art films, especially art films from a female perspective, she can definitely produce satisfactory works.

Like "Wonder Woman 1984", this film was entirely written and directed by Patty Jenkins, and she had absolute control on the set.

The result is a superhero blockbuster that was turned into an art film, without the exciting fighting scenes that the audience wanted to see.

Although the literary drama that the audience doesn't like to watch is delicate and can move a group of female audiences, it is undoubtedly a minus point for a superhero movie as it is too dragged out.

What percentage of the audience likes to watch superhero movies? What everyone wants to see is Gal Gadot wielding a sword and fighting enemies! Just like the first "Wonder Woman".

The success of the first film is not entirely due to Patty Jenkins, this time we really have to thank Warner.

If you have watched the movie, you will find that the main villain, the God of War Ares, appears inexplicably, without enough foreshadowing in the early stages, and he seems to pop up suddenly.

The reason is that the movie originally did not set Ares as the villain, and there was no big battle at the end. Warner Bros. felt that it was not good after watching it. It was too un-Superheroic, so they decisively intervened and changed the plot.

Everyone knows how bad the second part was after the release of the power! After watching Patty leave, Charlize Theron and Christina Ricci came over. The latter is best known for her role as Wednesday in the Addams Family, with a baby face that never grows up.

She is 23 years old this year, but she still looks like she is twelve or thirteen. Ten years later, she will still look like she is twelve or thirteen.

"Eric, why did the director leave?" Theron asked curiously.

Eric shrugged. “Right now, I’m the director of Monster, and Patty has been assigned other work.”

"Ah?" The two girls showed puzzled expressions at the same time.

"Don't be surprised, it's just a guest appearance, only this afternoon."

The two girls breathed a sigh of relief, this was not bad, their partnership with Patty was still going smoothly. Suddenly changing the director was not very reassuring at all.

Especially since Eric's reputation was severely split, in a Schrödinger's state. Before the release of his first work, no one knew what his level was.

Seeing the two women's worries, Eric smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm good at photographing female themes, especially homosexual themes."

"Let me see which scene we should shoot first."

Wednesday held up the script in her hand: "Scene 25. Theobi and Irene's first night together."

"Okay, give me ten minutes to sort out the plot."

Eric quickly flipped through the script. As a classic film that won many awards around the world that year, he had naturally seen it several times. He had a relatively good understanding of both the movie and the real events, and had watched documentaries.

As an adapted film, "Monster" actually seems to deliberately create dramatic conflicts and tension.

For example, the prostitute killer Irene played by Charlize Theron is very ugly in the movie, but this image is designed based on the real Irene's appearance after she was in prison for many years.

In reality, during the years when Irene committed crimes, including the early years of her imprisonment, she had certain requirements for her appearance. Her appearance could not be called beautiful, but at least it was acceptable and she was definitely not covered in fat.

Otherwise, why do you think she is soliciting customers? Besides, she was once married to a rich boss, so she is beautiful.

Theobee is a complete change. The real Theobee is named Tyria Moore. She is not the naive girl in the movie, but a woman a few years younger than Irene.

Her personality is also different from the completely selfish one in the movie. She lived with Irene for five years.

In the first three years, Irene did not commit any crime and even gave up bad habits such as stealing and violence. It can be seen that the two of them should have a relatively happy life.

In real life, these two women should have truly loved each other, instead of just being used by Thyeobhi as in the movie.

Eric roughly flipped through the script and discussed it with Theron and Wednesday, and it was confirmed that Patty was still going the path of magical changes.

Eric decided to add a little helplessness and warmth to this case, not to whitewash it.

After all, serial killings are a very obvious form of revenge-seeking social perversion, and no excuse can be made to justify it, but at least it is closer to reality.

People are complex, and that should be reflected.

After thinking for a while, Eric picked up a pen and paper and began to change the lines. Watching the tip of the pen slide quickly on the paper, Theron turned and walked to the side, looking at the words she didn't understand backwards.

Feeling the shadow, Eric raised his eyes to look at her, then continued writing.

"Sorry, if you're not used to it, I can stay away." Theron said softly.

"It doesn't matter. You'll be using these lines soon anyway."

"Changed it for me?"

"You both have it, but you take up the majority. I want to add some tension to this scene and make Irene and Naobi's characters more full-bodied."

Hearing this, Wednesday walked to his other side and looked down.

After almost an hour of revising and deleting and writing non-stop, Eric finally came up with a result that he was relatively satisfied with.

For an hour, Theron and Wednesday stood there, looking down at him as he wrote and drew.

The staff nearby looked at the three of them carefully. As the big boss, Eric frowned and said nothing, so no one dared to approach him.

Originally, there was a special person on the set who was responsible for moving the actors' chairs, but he just stood there and didn't dare to come over, so Charlize Theron and Wednesday had to stand the whole time.

However, they are both very professional actors. They were fascinated to see Eric changing the lines on the spot and did not feel tired at all.

"OK, I think that's about it." Eric said slowly.

Then he looked at the two of them and said, "I'm sorry, my handwriting may not be clear. It's a bit confusing. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."

Theron and Wednesday looked at each other, the former shaking her head slightly, while the latter, who had even fewer lines, also shook her head to indicate that she didn't need it.

"Can you understand?"

Theron nodded slightly: "I was standing next to her. It seems that this is the right choice. In fact, I have almost memorized the lines."

"I have no problem either. I have already memorized the lines. Director, you look so handsome when you are serious!" Wednesday was not to be outdone.

"Really?"

"certainly!"

Hahahaha It’s so comfortable to work with excellent actors, and I don’t even have to ask people to make copies.

Eric stood up and said loudly, "Everyone, take your positions. Monster Scene 25, action!"

The plot of this scene is that Seobi brings Irene back home and lets her enjoy the long-lost hot bath and warm bed. She used to live in a dirty warehouse.

Two marginalized people in society came together, they warmed each other up, felt the friendship from each other, and also had sex.

Eric added a scene after the two of them made love.

At this moment, the two of them were in perfect harmony, and Irene, feeling the taste of love, also opened her heart.

She told about her past, and Eric simply added in Irene's real experiences in reality to flesh out the character.

Actually, at the beginning of Patty's filming, part of Irene's past was briefly mentioned, but the script didn't focus much on this aspect and the portrayal was too simple, so Eric filled it in for her.

In the camera, the two people hugged each other in the afterglow after enjoying themselves.

Wednesday lay on his side on Theron, with only half of his face showing, and no expression was needed.

Charlize Theron is in a male position. She has to hug and pat the other person gently like a man, while at the same time showing the expression of post-orgasm like a woman.

Looking at Charlize Theron with her eyes closed and breathing softly, Eric called out "Cut" immediately.

"Theron, make a bigger expression. You have to understand that Irene is a prostitute. The nature of her job has made her numb to sex."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"But now she feels that she has found true love. That kind of love is passionate, and it should be reflected in her body language and facial expressions as well."

“Okay director, I understand!”

Theron made an OK gesture.

"The Devil Wears Prada, Scene 25, action!"

This time, Charlize Theron's expression was much more exaggerated, and she even added a word "God!" Her eyes were blurred, like a smoker who had been holding back for a long time. The enjoyment and fascination of a puff of nicotine entering the lungs was really perfect.

But after a moment, her expression changed again. She rubbed her eyes and roughly wiped her nose with toilet paper.

Seeing this, Wednesday looked up: "Erin, what's wrong with you?"

Blowing her nose hard, Theron shook her head slightly: "Nothing."

"No, you must be in trouble. What happened? Did I make you uncomfortable?"

Theron hastily denied: "No, of course not Seobi, it's my own fault."

"Tell me, why?" Wednesday continued to ask.

After hesitating for a moment, Theron said in an awkward and hesitant tone: "I just thought of some bad things, but they are all in the past."

But in the close-up, Seobi looked straight at her with his big eyes.

Wednesday's eyes were big and full of intense curiosity, just like her somewhat childish personality.

"Speak out, I want to understand you, Erin, just as you already know me."

"Card!"

Eric yelled, interrupting the take.

He pointed at Wednesday and said, "Rich, this line has two meanings. One is that you have revealed your past to Irene at the bar, and the other is that you have just achieved the Great Harmony of Life."

"During the sex process, Erin is the dominant partner. She controls and explores you, so she already knows you well."

"Then when you say this line, your tone should contain a hint of shyness and cuteness, which is more in line with your age and personality."

After listening to Eric's interpretation, Wednesday was a little surprised: "Director, is there such a meaning? I didn't realize it at all."

Eric chuckled and said, "I told you, I'm very good at shooting female love stories."

"Yes, now I can see it."

The filming resumed, and at Seobi's request, Irene began to slowly tell about her tragic past.

"Seobi, my life was terrible. My father was a jerk and a pervert. He liked little girls with guns."

"Later I heard that he was in prison, and he probably couldn't stand the beatings there, so he committed suicide."

When talking about her father's suicide, Theron smiled, and you could see her resentment towards her father.

"Then one day my mom disappeared and I never saw her again. I was adopted by my grandparents."

Wednesday sighed slightly: "Parents just love to abandon their children. Fortunately, you still have your grandparents."

Theron said in a mocking tone: "Fortunately? That's a great word to use."

"Haha. Do you know? Since I said this, Theron suddenly became manic, suddenly threw off the quilt, and roared and screamed hard, like a flood that suddenly broke through the dam.

Wednesday seemed to be frightened, and hurried away from her with a frightened expression.

Until Theron stopped going crazy and looked at the other person with anger and tears in her eyes.

Wednesday then slowly crawled over and held Theron in his arms, and their status was reversed at this moment.

Theron continued weakly: "When I was fifteen, my grandmother died, and then I was kicked out of the house until you met me."

"What makes me sad is why that old bastard didn't commit suicide like his son-in-law did. Maybe he would still be alive and well now."

"Another thing I almost forgot is that I became addicted to drugs and started trading my body for drugs."

"Later I"

"No, stop talking about it, stop talking about it, Irene!"

Wednesday interrupted Theron's story and hugged her tighter, and the two of them just stayed together.

"Ku! Very good, your performance was perfect, we passed this round!"

Hearing this, the two girls breathed a sigh of relief and let go of each other. It was June, and even though there was air conditioning on the set, it was still quite hot to film under the covers.

"I thought it would take a lot of NGs, but it went so smoothly. Richie, you did a great job. And Theron, I told you you would win an Oscar."

Charlize Theron laughed heartily and said, "Director, you have also changed my opinion. It seems that what those newspapers said was all false."

"What?"

"They said you don't understand the director at all and are just a hot-headed rich second-generation. If they were here, they should apologize to you."

Eric put on a very serious expression: "We agree on this point."

"Really? But I was just joking, saying something polite to compliment you."

"What? Hiss. It seems that we can save the publicity and public relations fees for "The Devil Wears Prada"."

Eric scratched his nonexistent beard and pretended to think.

Charlize Theron immediately waved her hands: "Don't do that. Director Patty will tear me to pieces. That was just a joke."

"Really? Me too."

Hahahaha 　Thanks to 心静如水智如我 for the 333 coins reward, thank you boss.
